Shiori's comments Translation:Cover: Finally, it's the end. When
it began, I who was a no name shojyo mangaka got called outsuddenly to Champion which I had
no dealings with to publish at the same time Kurumada's ND, I felt like
people were saying,"What the hell is this?" The huge work "Saint Seiya"
with everything that comes with it, I felt under the pressure, lack of
ability. I had to work beyond my ability, giving out 120% to produce one
chapter after another. What was the result of that, I still don't know.
But, reading letters I received from those who were originally Seiya fans
approving me, those didn't know about Seiya but like my work, this manga
became an anime... It made me happy and encouraged me. For all that, thank
you very much! The above pic is a pure scene of carnage, my desk. Anyway,
it's dirty. For 5 years, clinging on this desk, it was a really narrow space
to work. Now that I think about it,it was very heavy work. To be able to
produce this work, I'm thankful. Kurumada Sensei, those who were involved
with this work, everyone, thank you very much! I love Lost Canvas so much!!
